SEPTEMBER STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ September State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Thank you for your patience as we work through our growing pains. We're still figuring out what pacing works best with our player base, and are adjusting as well as we can to ensure the game is fun for everyone involved! We do have our September Feedback Post, which we invite you to use to let us know if you have any questions/concerns/feedback/ideas that can assist in making the game easier to engage with for you. We would like to remind everyone that we are continuing to use one plotting post for each mission. For this mission, this would be our plotting post that went up in early September! As we have new players joining us, we would encourage you to please check it out to see if there are any new comments. We have also edited the FAQ to cover topics that were asked about under the mod queries header, to save players reading through all the individual questions. Additionally, don't forget your Activity! For new players, this is just their comment with their handle and their characters' names. This is due before October 1st. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals! Please use the below form to introduce yourself, tell us what you’re looking forward to, and CR you want to play. We also have a mod comment HERE that you can use to ask us mods anything about our upcoming plans, add suggestions, or anything of the like. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> your plurk, discord, carrier pigeon's name to call out to the wind to get their attention <b>ABOUT YOU:</b> what fandoms are you in? what cool thing about you do you think would be fun to share? are you more of a texty tagger, a log tagger, quick boomeranger? <b>CHARACTER:</b> who have you apped? what canon are they from? <b>CHARACTER INFO:</b> are they rowdy and loud? an introvert who needs an extrovert to adopt them and take them out into the world? how are they going to settle into game? is there anything in particular you're looking for with them? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> this is mostly for us mods: tell us things you're interested in! are you here more for horror elements, the mystery, soft fluffy missions, or the plot behind why echo has called everyone in? do you want to explore the world and figure out what's beyond the bubble etraya resides in? let us know! <b>OTHER:</b> this is for pretty pictures or gifs.

PLAYER: Space, they/them
CONTACT: spacemoth, I'll probably be in the discord but don't rely on that to contact me please.
ABOUT YOU: Fandom-wise, I'll give just about anything a fair shake! But I do have a big soft spot for horror, magical girls, and fantasy. And with MKR's new anime announcement, I got the urge to go back down to my roots of one of the first characters I played back in Ye Olden LJRP days. But favorites right now include Magnus Archives/Protocol, Dungeon Meshi, various dnd liveplay shows, the Silent Hill games franchise entirely, JJK, whatever looks interesting that crosses my line of sight.

Outside of fandom, I work a full time night job so my tagging varies from boomeranging a lot to work blowing up in my face and not being able to check my inbox for a few days. But usually my tags are early evenings and throughout the night to early mornings as I sleep during the day. As such I'll backtag as long as folks need or want and I'll match playstyles.

However, because of my schedule, the most reliable way to ever reach me for something is via plurk! Discord pings get lost too easily so if you ever need anything, shoot me a plurk ping or a private plurk please!

CHARACTER: Hikaru Shidou
CHARACTER INFO: Hikaru's a 14-to-15 year old middle schooler who got summoned to an alternate world to help save that world via magic and giant robots and I swear I'm not just saying that about Etraya itself.

Have you ever met the physical embodiment of sunshine because that's Hikaru in a 4'9" package of energy, love, and determination. She's one of the sweetest characters out there and WILL befriend anyone she can. She's headstrong and always willing to hear anyone out before she starts fighting them after the worst field trip ever leaving her and her two best friends a little (a lot) scarred from things they had to do. Also this is such a tiny thing but she's from 1993 Tokyo so she'll be amazed by any and all new tech.

For anyone familiar with the manga, she's from the end of volume 5 so she won't be entirely unconvinced this isn't just part of what she's already been doing in Cefiro.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Despite appearances, Hikaru's a pretty versatile character! Her main genre is action/fantasy but she's good for horror, she's good for fluff, she can do it all. I'm pretty excited to be joining during a horror event to warm her up to everyone from the start so I'll be definitely looking into that going on. Other than that, I'm down for her to get involved with anything that's available!

OTHER: The anime doesn't really have great gifs for me to use but please know. She is a head empty high emotion angel.

Handshake-handshake. Glad that you got in! MKR was like one of the first manga I read by CLAMP. I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR IT and Hikaru is wonderful. May only good things happen to her... unfortunately she already knows Vincent.

Hello, I'm Ruri. Nice to meet you. \o

[godkaru]

Thank you! I was trying to get in last app round but heart was just not in the cards.

Listen I'm sure she will not misunderstand any signals and clues that Vincent puts out okay. She can fix him. Probably.

Nice to meet you too, Ruri! I'm looking forward to being around!

[banworthy]

Most welcome! We joining in together. I'm also new, haha.

I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE, TOO. She can totally fix him. Absolutely. Maybe.

\o\!! YAY. He thinks she's already a lovely person to have and to get a feel of the area without having to do all the legwork himself. SHE'S DOING GREAT BY HIS BOOK, HE SAYS.

hello and welcome to the game!! i'm happy to keep our tdm thread canon if you like, though gorgug is currently in the middle of being infected in the current mission event, so i'll check on how you want to engage with things once you're ready to jump in if you would like another thread! B)

i will also add you on plurk if that is ok!

[godkaru]

I'll definitely hit you up to figure out how to work that into game canon! 👀

And absolutely, go for it re: adding to plurk!
